Study 1 – John 1 verses 35-42
Simon’s Introduction to Jesus
- What was it that persuaded Andrew that Jesus was the Messiah? (verses 35-39) You should include what he heard from John the Baptist, and what is said in verse 39 about his stay with Jesus.
- In verse 40 discuss the three actions Andrew took and how we can apply these to personal evangelism?
- What significance do you attach to the words “Come and see” in verse 39? Think also of how verse 46 and chapter 4 verse 29 relate to this. Then consider how chapter 4 verses 39-42 are also connected and especially how they highlight the reason why we should bring people to Jesus.
- In chapter 1 verse 44 we see that Jesus looked at Simon and then said “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas.” What would Simon learn about Jesus from this? Why would this be important regarding his future?
- List and discuss from verses 35-42 all the points you think are applicable to what a Christian is.
